You should know better than to show a pic like that on Ratsun and expect anyone here to talk you out of it.

 

The great thing about Lexan is that it is easily shaped at around 350°. Just build a jig in the shape that you want, then set an uncut piece of Lexan over it and heat it with a heat gun until it lays down on the jig. Or better yet, if you have access to some of those infrared heat lamps that painters use to spot-cure, it would probably work a lot faster than the heat gun. That is really slow going. Ideally you would want a vacuum former, but that window would just be too damn big for anything but an industrial machine.

 

Long story short... Go for it!

Yeah, I think the wheels on the Sunny go a long way toward the awesomeness, but it still wouldn't look quite right without that full length rear window. Did that guy actually do the modification, or just the concept image? That would look badass on there. Not a huge fan of the wood grain paneling, but I'd still rock that wagon.

All photoshop. The car doesn't exist in reality. Yet. :P

Wood paneling is doubtful at this stage. But I like it. :thumbup:
